New Wheels Help Please.

[Kolossus]

Hey guys,

I'm currently looking for some new wheels for my 2001 V35 Sedan, I have read that the offsets to fit it are as such - 8.5 + 30 front (around this) and 9.5 + 35-40 for the rear, I was wondering how far out of these i can go because these offsets limit my options hugely.

Cheers for your help.

No one know about this?

Do a search through the M35 stagea section- I believe that sedans and M35s are about the same offset from factory/wheel arch measurements.

I'm running 8.5 +22 with nil issues- have seen 9.5 +20

You don't have to run square like we do, because of AWD. So you could go staggered.

You can go as crazy as you want- just have to get appropriate levels of low, and camber to suit. All depends on how low the car is.

And search the US G35 sites too-

click on my signature below if you want examples of wheels and offsets I have used before. One thing to remember if you are lowered and I assume you are, then there are slightly more options available to you. The lower you go, the smaller the offset you can run on your sedan. Please note, sedan and coupe offsets are completely different so don't even start comparing with coupes.

Secondly, The example above from G35 driver is probably one of the many extreme examples (slammed, rolled guards, stretched rubber and excessive camber).

I am currently running 8.5 +25 fronts and 9.5 +30 rears mildly lowered approx 30mm on Z suspension. The fronts are perfect while the rears are sticking out the guards by approx 5-10mm due to running 275s. If I lower it a bit more and run 255s it would tuck in nicely.

Below chart should assist you. It is assuming you are riding on stock suspension, so if you are lowered you can push the maximums out a bit further towards the guard but more importantly if you are going with wider wheels and the wrong offset, you may also start hitting your struts.

To be honest I don't know if shes lowered because i haven't checked (do you know stock height?), and thank you so much this chart helps alot hopefully ill figure this out tonight so i can get them on the way (i need new tyres and i want my new rims first)

Get a tape measure, and measure from center of your wheel to rear wheel guard and tell me what you got in cm or mm

[dirtyRS4]

if you have a look at the outside fender line (front & rear) it should give you a good idea of how they will be within the guards.

mine are actually +33 and + 38 but with the right setup and use of adjustable arms, anything really should fit.

65 - 70 mm, its getting dark so was hard to read

Are you measuring from centre of the wheel to guard? like so?
